I grew up in a Southern church full of little old ladies(most of them were related to me) that loved to cook. I looked forward to those pot luck lunches and family reunions. Every so often they would compile their favorite recipes into cookbooks and I am fortunate enough to have several that my grandma gave me. I found this recipe in one of those cookbooks about a year ago and my family loves when I make it. It is incredibly simple to make, but is a definite favorite.

Instructions:
Spray a bunt cake pan with cooking spray. DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN.

I use my mixer. Mix butter and sugar until creamed. Add eggs one at a time and beat well between each egg. Add flour and whipping cream - leave mixer on low while doing this. Put in vanilla and mix well.

Pour into the pan and place into the cold oven.

Turn the oven on 300 degrees and bake for about 80-85 minutes or until the testing stick comes out clean. The directions say to cool completely, but I think these ladies were crazy! Let it sit for a few minutes and then dump into a platter - eat it while its still warm - YUM!

You're wishing this was scratch and sniff, aren't you? Its a little flaky where it baked on the bottom and tastes heavenly - now I'm craving some!

Oh my, this looks to die for. I ADORE pound cake and this one looks like one that I could eat at least half in one sitting. I would really LOVE for you to share it with my followers on my Thursday's Recipe Swap Meet tomorrow.... It's a new meme that my friend Dolly and I have been working on for a couple of months and I'd love for you to join us each Thursday - your recipes are amazing!!
